First and only time I'd seen cars with bullet holes in the side panels just parked on the road.....
Probably Shrewsbury Street
Swinton, Eccles (some parts), Worsley and Sale all good.
Marin_Maketh_The_Man you must be just down the road from me mate 🙂
Can't believe that people are suggesting Eccles as a nice place to live! My best mate used to live there and it scared the shit out of me! I live in one of the shittest areas in Stoke and it felt middle class compared to Eccles!
my office is in chorlton (since '97) - i always have a chuckle when i hear people describing chorlton as trendy/bohemian/nice
yes it does has a couple of posh streets and good deli's - but unless overpriced housing, students, immigrants, brothels and drive by shootings are your thing i'd stick to outside the M60...
Marin_Maketh_The_Man - MemberI've just landed a job darn'sarf so will be looking to rent out our house in Sale in the next couple of months, with a view to selling it in the middle of next year.
You have mail!

I grew up on Ellsmere Park never had a problem went to school on Wentworth Road loads of nice houses in Eccles have you ever been near Monton sports club?
Ok Manchester places I've lived in
Salford. No.
Whalley range is ok as long as you are wise and pick the streets carefully, avoid the ones around Manley road and don't go too far up into brooks bar. Chorlton is ok too, just be vigilant as the scrotes from other areas come for house break-ins ( this also happens in didsbury)
Prestwich is great as harry says, I live in Whitefield now which is next door to Prestwich and is also great
Where are you badllama?
I see plenty of people around here who I often think must be STW'ers..... (You know, a Skoda Octavia for the week and a T5 for the weekends! )
@edhornby Worsley is in Salford. Too far for the op, but not to shabby.
As badlarma there are some good places in Eccles.
I'd look at the city centre /Quays / northern quarter flat option for 6 months.

somewhere where you could train or bike in from.
Marple/Hyde/New Mills fits that bill & you are half a hop from the Peak District.
Norden/Bamford areas of Rochdale are nice. Close to Bury for the shopping and easy to get to Lee/Cragg Quarries + Calderdale over the tops.
House prices are reasonable [url= http://search.cowell-norford.co.uk/property/view/id/6932 ]Example right on the edge of countryside[/url]
+1 for Mossley/Saddleworth although house prices in Saddleworth are expensive (Born and bred in Saddleworth, but now live 'near Rochdale' as houses were somewhat cheaper.
Bury is OK too.
If you aren't driving, Ramsbottom would be an issue as the trains that run from there are of the Steam variety.
anywhere near a tram stop station.. they run every 12 minutes go round the houses but its brand new clean and effcient.. for me i'd not go as far out as glossop but would look to be nr rochdale ( tram bus and train links to city centre one of the cheapest places to live in the country.. littleborough todmorden all good all cheap all pretty all mtb
+1 for Mossley. Lived here just over a year now. If you like the quiet life, it's great. 25 minute train journey to centre of Manchester and some Good local riding too 😀
